Terms of Use

Private Reference Service

Franklin County Busted Mugshots is privately operated and is not connected to any government office, sheriff, jail, court, corrections department, or police agency. It stores no official records and cannot verify custody, release a person, post bond, or file a public-records request. It provides general paths to Franklin County and Tennessee resources and may connect visitors with independent search tools.


Acceptable Use

By using the site, you agree to use it lawfully and responsibly.

  • Do not violate a law or another person's rights while using the service.
  • Do not use information to stalk, harass, threaten, intimidate, or harm anyone.
  • Do not attempt unauthorized access to the site, an agency system, or another user's information.

FCRA Restrictions

This site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. It does not provide consumer reports, background reports, or FCRA-covered services, and neither the site nor its advertising or search partners may be used for an FCRA-covered purpose. You agree not to use information here for hiring, firing, tenant or housing decisions, credit decisions, insurance decisions, licensing, permits, government-program eligibility, or any other purpose regulated by the FCRA.


Outside Sites and Tools

The site links to sheriff, jail, court, corrections, government, news, and outside search services. Each outside service controls its own content, uptime, privacy practices, fees, and terms. Links do not endorse an outside provider or make its content part of this site. Review the terms of any outside service before using it.


No Warranties

The service is offered on an “as is” and “as available” basis. No promise is made that information is accurate, complete, current, uninterrupted, secure, error-free, or suitable for a particular purpose. Custody status and public records can change quickly. Partner search results, government websites, and external links may be unavailable or incomplete.


Liability Limits

To the fullest extent allowed by law, Franklin County Busted Mugshots and its owners, providers, and partners are not liable for losses or damages arising from access to, inability to access, or reliance on the site or an outside link. This includes direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, and other damages to the extent permitted by law.


Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the site, its owners, providers, and partners from claims, losses, liabilities, and reasonable legal fees arising from your use of the site, your violation of these terms, or your violation of another person's rights.


Site Materials

The site's text, graphics, logo treatment, design, and code are owned by Franklin County Busted Mugshots or its content partners and are protected by applicable intellectual-property law. Do not copy, distribute, modify, or create derivative works from those materials without written permission, except where law permits.


Changes to Terms

These terms may be updated at any time. A revised version takes effect when posted. Review this page periodically if you continue to use the service.


Access Controls

Access may be limited, suspended, or ended at any time, with or without notice, when necessary to protect the service, users, or legal interests. This does not create a duty to monitor the site or its users.


Tennessee Law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Tennessee, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute will be brought in a court with proper jurisdiction in Tennessee, subject to applicable law.


Severability

If a court finds part of these terms unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect. The affected provision will be adjusted only to the extent needed to make it enforceable where possible.


Questions

Questions about these terms may be sent through Get in Touch. Record, custody, and case questions must go to the agency or court that holds the information.
